So let the sinners perish from the Sight of God, and let the Righteous be glad.

The Myrrh-bearing Women at dawn

very early, standing outside the Tomb of the Giver of Life, found an Angel who was seated upon the stone. And the Angel addressed them and said: “Why do you seek among the dead the One Who is alive? Why do you grieve as though corruptible the Incorrupt? So go back and proclaim it to His Disciples.

This is the Day the Lord made; let us greatly rejoice and be glad therein.

Pascha! A Pascha All Venerable has risen for us! With Joy, let us embrace one another! Pascha, the Ransom from sorrow! Today from the Sepulchre Christ emerge resplendently as from a Brida Chamber, and the Women He filled with Joy, saying: Proclaim this to the Apostles!

and Instrument of Divine Wisdom.

The Heavens declare the Glory of God; the firmament shows the Creation of His Hands.

O John, when Thou leaned upon the

Bosom of Divine Wisdom Himself, Thou drew out as if from a Well, Waters of Theology, and Thou

watered the world with them. And with the knowledge about the

Trinity, Thou dried the ocean of pagan godlessness; Thou were an

animate Pillar of both Cloud and Fire, guiding us towards our

Heavenly Inheritance.

The third time our Lord Jesus showed

Himself to His Disciples after He was Risen from the dead, when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter: “Simon, son of Jonah, do you Love Me more than these?”

He said to Him: “Yes, Lord, Thou know

that I love Thee.”

He said to him: “Feed My Lambs.”

He said to him again a second time:

“Simon, son of Jonah, do you Love Me?”

He said to Him:, “Yes Lord; Thou know

that I Love Thee.”

He said to him: “Tend My sheep.”

He said to him the third time: “Simon,

son of Jonah, do you love Me?”

Peter was grieved because He asked him

a third time: “Do you love Me?”

And he said to Him, “Lord, Thou know

all things; Thou know that I love Thee.”

Jesus said to him:, “Feed My sheep.

“Truly, truly, I say to you: when you were younger, you girded yourself and walked where you wished; but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will gird you and carry you where you do not wish to go.”

This He spoke, signifying by what death

he would glorify God.

And when He had spoken this, He said

to him: “Follow Me!”

Then Peter, turning around, saw the

Disciple whom Jesus Loved following, (who also had leaned on His Breast at the Supper and asked: “Lord, who is the one who betrays Thee?”)

Seeing him, Peter said to Jesus: “Lord,

what about this man?” Jesus said to him: “If I Will that he

remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow Me!”

Then this saying went out among the

Brethren that this Disciple would not die.

Yet Jesus did not say to him that he

would not die, but: “If I Will that he remain until I come, what is that to you?”

This is the Disciple who testifies to

these things, and wrote these things; and we know that his Testimony is True.

And there are also many other things

that Jesus did, which if they were written one by one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would be written.

Deliver me from blood guiltiness, O

God, the God of my Salvation, and my tongue shall greatly rejoice in Thy Righteousness.

O Lord, Thou shall open my lips, and

my mouth will declare Thy Praise, for if Thou desired Sacrifice, I would give it – Thou will not be pleased with Whole Burnt Offerings.

A Sacrifice to God is a broken spirit – a

broken and humbled heart God will not despise.

Do Good, O Lord, in Thy Good Pleasure

to Zion, and let the walls of Jerusalem be built, then Thou will be pleased with a Sacrifice of Righteousness, with Offerings and Whole Burnt Offerings - then shall they offer young bullocks on Thine Altar.
